Texas Heat
It sure is hot here in Texas. While sitting in the nice cold house we were noticing that it even sounds hot outside. Check out the video and see what we mean.
Our girls are indoor dogs and they really don't like this heat so much time is spent in doors during the day. Once the sun starts to set and the temps start to go down we head outside. We have not found a good place for them to swim yet. We tried a park in Arlington but the water was dirty the there was a lot of mud around. We will keep looking for a nice spot to swim. Try and stay cool friends!
We agree, never leave your dog in the car when it's hot.
Not even for a second!

My best friend closed his eyes last night,
As his head was in my hand.
The doctors said he was in pain,
And it was hard for him to stand.
The thought that scurried through my head,
As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
And Oh...his many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense "I love you gaze,"
Only a heart that's filled with tears
Remembering our joy-filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, You should cry no more,
God also loves our canine friends,
He's installed a doggy -door!

Paw it Forward
We received a Paw it Forward gift from Kylie!
Thank you very much for the wonderful gift Kylie!
Addie decided to be a jerk and pick on Hailey while the package was being opened so she received a time out in her crate.
Now its our turn to paw it forward. If you would like to play with us, please leave a comment saying so, the first three get to play and then they have to paw it forward too.
“The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and ‘pay it forward’ in their own way. This is how it works… We are going to agree to send something fun, inspiring or uplifting to 3 blog owners who post a comment on this entry. In turn you will do the same on your blog. There are no cost restraints, BUT don’t go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live? And, remember that kindness doesn’t have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go – just look around.”
For our Paw it Forward gift, we will donate dog food to the Henderson County Animal Shelter in Tool Texas in the name of the first three friends to make comments to this post. They were out of food and were faced with a difficult decision: either euthanize or let the animals starve to death. You can view there story here:
Thankfully the community is stepping up and helping out these pets in need, and we want to help too!
Give your pups or cat an extra hug tonight and be thankful that you have food to feed them.

Let's talk about poop!
The Producers
Being pet lovers, we all have first hand experience with this topic. Being that this is the first time that we have had two big dogs, we are realizing just how much poop they make. Truthfully, I don't know how Lucie can produce the large amount that she does!
How do you manage the poop in your yard?
We have tried the following:
Garbage bag: other animals get into it or rip open the closed bag
Mini bucket with lid: In this heat if you leave it too long, well I'm not even going to say what happens, but at that point I throw out the entire bucket with lid attached
Digging holes: This is straight from my husbands military background. Our grass grows great over those holes!
We have not tried the Doggie Dooley system. Do any of you use it and if so is it good for large dogs? Any advise that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. We pick all poop up immediately so our solution needs to include some type of storage. For all of our friends that are in hot climates, we would love to hear how you manage your yard. We are hoping to find a solution that will reduce the smell and flys.

The Ultimate Father's Day Gift
Ron has wanted a brand new Porsche for a very long time. So, we made that dream come true! That's why we sold the 944.
Addie isn't permitted to have her picture taken in this one!
But that's ok. She still looks fabulous in her matching doggles!
Lucie is harder to impress.
The closest these girls will get to this car is by sharing their alligator.
A fun new sports car means lots of trips! Follow our adventures at
